Tampa Fishing Charters gets a new boat!

Tampa fishing charters brand new ride.

Last season was my busiest ever here at Tampa fishing charters. I decided it was time to get a new office, and a long time dream has come to fruition. I am the proud new owner of a 2017 Maverick Hpx -18 poling skiff. It is the perfect vessel for flats fishing Tampa Bay. It is absolutely loaded with every option Maverick boats offers. This is the one boat that can do it all. I can pole it while fly fishing, or look for cobia in the middle of Tampa Bay. It handles rough water yet is nimble while poling. I also have a bay boat for live bait trips or when carrying more passengers, so I can finally say I have just the right boats for all the fishing I do. I am truly blessed.

Tampa fishing has been great as we transition into fall. The snook are stacking into the backcountry, and the red fishing is as good as it gets. The fish have been chewing artificial’s with gusto all day long. There is tons of bait on the flats and the fish are fattening up for winter. Stellar days are the norm this time of year. Tampa fly fishing continues to be very good as well. I still am targeting tarpon in specific areas early in the morning. Snook also make a great target on a fly rod in the fall. If you are on the fence about taking a Tampa Bay fishing charter, JUMP now. Get it while the getting is so good.
